I feel like I'm all over the place with this book...
It's not quite 4-star read for me but 3 stars don't feel like enough either. Part of me feels like the author chose the perfect title for this book, while another part of me feels like that title offers too much hope. Readers will understand.

This book really makes me think critically about the line between historical drama and trauma porn because this novel is surely skirting that line.
